Our attitude towards our job can impact many things. A negative outlook can make us view everything as a personal criticism. On the other hand, a positive attitude can create growth both personally and professionally.

Appraisal is that time of the year when both the managers and the employees are worried about the kind of ratings they may receive and give to their colleagues. This is the period to look back at the year that was and plan for the coming year. This article will help you prepare well for your appraisal.

In India our work often represents who and what we are. In addition to monetary returns a job provides a sense of purpose and self-esteem. Thus when a job ends, part of us seems to end with it. If you or someone you know has lost your job, it is important to remember . . . you have lost a description of what you do, not who and what you are.

News of the crashing stock-market, recession, layoffs, salary cuts, and the uncertain financial situation is certainly a cause of great stress to most people. In the current economic situation the fear of unemployment is also very real. Experts recommend a number of steps that could be helpful, and warn against others that are actually counter-productive. Here is a look at some of these.

Easy access to mails and blogs on the phones, laptops and desktops has popularized the time-saving, travel-free social interactions. It has become easier to opt for work from home, manage a team from a different location and organize an official meeting without much running around just by one click on a mouse. However, since e-mails are permanent records of a person's contribution to work, it is also essential to follow some email etiquette and guidelines that convey professionalism and efficiency.

Self-Confidence is vitally important to our success at work. It directly affects not only our level of performance, but also reflects in our interactions with colleagues, clients, as well as bosses.

THANKS...for helping save lives.

Preventing Suicide : Reaching out and saving lives is the International Theme for World Suicide Prevention Day, 10th September 2015.

It is a myth that "people who talk about suicide do not do it". And it gives us great joy to remember all those situations where people have chosen to ignore this myth. Their concern and timely action of connecting troubled ones to professionals has contributed greatly towards the prevention of suicide.

We would like to express our gratitude to all those who helped us in reaching out to close to 2000 individuals who had been thinking about taking their lives during their difficult times.

We specially remember the companies who have initiated the EAP service for their employees; People Managers and HR's who were alert and sensitive to their team members' distress, who did not shy away from helping even post midnight; colleagues who encouraged their peers to seek help; The family members who did not overlook the signs of despair and willingly co-orperated with our counsellors to provide continuing care and support for their dear ones.

We would also like to acknowledge and appreciate all those individuals who, despite their own pain and hesitations to take help, reached out to us and trusted their counsellor to guide them to happier times.
